Brock Purdy has continued to divide opinion even as the San Francisco 49ers quarterback has enjoyed a spectacular first full season as the starter.
The dissenting voices are quieter after Purdy led the Niners on a miraculous comeback in the NFC Championship Game, San Francisco recovering from a 24-7 deficit against the Detroit Lions to prevail 34-31 and progress to Super Bowl 58.
Purdy’s story is of course made all the more incredible by his status as the final pick in the 2022 draft, and he has a fan in a man who is extremely familiar by being motivated by being made to wait to hear his name called, who also happens to be the quarterback Purdy defeated in his first start last season.
